Two of our Navy friends got divorced over a laundry basket. The wife thought her aviator husband didn't do enough housework, so she stopped folding his laundry in protest. She tossed the unfolded laundry in a basket on his dresser and waited for him to get folding. He never did. He just plucked what he needed out of the basket.
Suddenly, that basket became the "tell-tale heart" for the wife, thumping away at her from across the room. It was the symbol of her husband's disdain and contempt, his failure to understand her, his immaturity, and …oh, I don't know what-all. She had a long list. more |

Take an Inside Tour into the World of Snake-Eaters and Frogman: Our Nation's Elite Warriors
Pierce, you'll find another gem: the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum – the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to the Navy's elite warriors. Located between Daytona Beach and Miami, just a short drive off I-95, the museum stands on the original World War II training site of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) and Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) – a site known as the "birthplace of the Navy Frogman."
Naked Warriors, Devils with Green Faces – the names have changed, but the mission's the same. The Navy UDT-SEAL Museum covers a lot of physical and historical terrain. It features everything from underwater and surface craft dating from World War II to the present; original steel-and-concrete obstacles used to train early elite units more than 60 years ago; Vietnam-era patrol riverboats and a Seawolf helicopter, two Apollo space capsules, two desert patrol vehicles from Afghanistan and Iraq and the high-tech SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV). (In the early days of the space program, UDTs retrieved astronauts and space capsules following re-entry.) more |

Apparently the Navy's top Sailor isn't the only one rushing to the defense of the ice cream machine. more
Tecumseh Files For Bankruptcy
After decades of sitting pretty in self-titled T-Court, Tecumseh is ready to call it quits. The bronze statue of famed Native American chief Tecumseh applied for bankruptcy this week after suffering through years of financial woe. "My revenue has been dropping steadily since about 1960, when mids were still into the coin tossing thing." Known as the god of 2.0, Tecumseh or "Mr. T" as he likes to be called, cites a drop in the quantity and quality of coins thrown into his quiver. "I got to say, this is a really dangerous business. Do you know how many times I've caught a rusty penny in my eye? I can't even blink!" more |
